The Coast Guard will continue its search this morning for two missing teenage boys approximately 100 nautical miles off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. The search area is more than 500 miles to the north from where Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen set out to go fishing.
As of Thursday evening Coast Guard search crews have conducted 56 search patterns covering almost 44-thousand square nautical miles.
The latest search area stretches from Daytona, Florida to Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
Austin and Perry left Jupiter on Friday afternoon and haven’t been seen since. They were last seen purchasing $110 worth of gas at the Jib Yacht Club and Marina for their 19-foot boat. The boys were believed to be headed off shore to fish.
Their capsized boat was found Sunday morning off the coast of Ponce Inlet, more than 180 miles north of where they started their journey.
